Best idea! ^ Just because you replaced almost everything in the cooling system doesn't guarantee they're all working as intended! I always test a thermostat before installing it! Pressure test, will pinpoint where the system is failing so you're not throwing more unnecessary parts at your G!

It's not a video by Motordyne the company, it's a YouTube user who goes by the name "Motordyne G35".
I haven't watched the video so no comment about it but it's not as hard as people make it out to be if you just follow the directions. I can only guess that most folks are in a hurry and just fill the thing up which will never work on this car.

Those are not real leakdown test numbers, it will be displayed as a PERCENTAGE, not psi.
Basically the manifold you use has two gauges, one shows how many psi is being applied to the cylinder (about 80psi usually) and the other shows what percentage of the air is being lost. iirc mine was like 15% average across all cylinders, they were pretty much all the same from one cylinder to the next. I have a rev-up with 130k on the factory rings so I wasn't surprised about the 15% number, usually you want it under 10% on a new motor.
